turned back to assist the third column, but the French routed it as well to claim the victory. A third authority called the July battle a French triumph, but gave no details. Execution On 4 August 1793, a Spanish force captured Villefranche-de-Conflent in the Cerdagne. Though this was a relatively minor defeat, the Representatives-on-mission accused de Flers of treason. Arrested and sent to prison in Paris, de Flers was brought before a Revolutionary Tribunal the following year. The court condemned him to die for communicating with enemies of the state and for taking part in the Luxembourg Prison conspiracies, charges which one source called a "ridiculous pretext". De Flers went to the guillotine on 22 July 1794. Five days later, the government fell and Maximilien de Robespierre and his political allies quickly shared de Flers' fate. The name DEFLERS is inscribed on Column 33 of the Arc de Triomphe. De Flers was married to Maximilienne Albertine Guillemine de Latre-Neuville. The couple had two children, a daughter Guillemine Aline Ange, born in 1787, and a son Charles Amédée Guillain who was born in 1789 and died in 1857. Guillemine married Alexandre René de Saffray (b. 1785) on 18 August 1828. Charles Amédée first married Anne Bernard Flavie de Froissard (1801–1835). His second wife was countess Nathalie Charlotte Ferdinande d'Oultremont (1818-1900).
